Baby movement

[milk]

I'm 16+3 with DC2.

DS (my first child) used to kick/move all the time while I was pregnant (since around 15 weeks), which has gotten me all paranoid since this one hasn't moved in some time.

The birth centre said I could come in and they'd check the heartbeat just for reassurance.

Should I go in or am I being silly?

TIA :)

Hi milk. If it will put your mind at ease, I would go in. They sound great. My MW was quite reluctant to try at 16 weeks in case she couldn't pick hb up. I would go, but ask if there's any chance of a repeat check in a week or so if they can't find one this time. At 16 weeks I had felt some movement, but it was very sporadic and sometimes I wouldn't feel anything for a few days, especially if I was busy. Maybe this one's a bit quieter than your DS?
Hope everything's okay.

Go. Put your fears to rest. The same happened to me in my last pg and the staff at the birth centre were very reassuring. Definitely go.

Go go go. Checking reduced movements is so easy to do and so important and can be life saving.

I went multiple times during my pg and it was worth it. A friend of a friend didn't and it was a very sad ending.

Go go go go and noone will mind. Please never hesitate.

Went to the hospital, all was fine :)

Excellent news

Great news. You did the right thing.

I'm 16 weeks too and have a wriggly one but I get paranoid very, very quickly and too embarassed to call the midwife I haven't even met yet if there's no movement for a little while. I should know better, this is my third, but equally it is so normal to worry. I've never been so anxious during a pregnancy before...this time I can't stop thinking about the very sad experiences of two of my friends, and my own mmc last year. It's torture, I tell ya!
